The polls say this is a winning strategy; I don't think it will travel beyond the Only-Trumper set and to voters in the national election

does this hat make me look stupid?

Trump has now:

  1. Praised California’s Governor Noisome because he once said nice things about him

  2. Called for an end of the Budweiser boycott because they’ve given him lots of money and said nice things about him

  3. Attacked Ron DeSantis because he won’t say nice things about him

Trump may have a message, something that transcends himself, but who’s hearing it? His overweening ego just won’t let him stay on point, and so he feeds his enemies — that would include the press, even though he keeps forgetting that — 10-second soundbites that bury anything of significance he might also be saying.

Is he really any different from that other confused old man who keeps forgetting where he is, what he’s doing, and why he’s there?
